She defines herself as “rough and refined at the same time.” Kim Hye Mee is a designer of Korean descent, but grew up in Brussels, Belgium, where she lives and works. She founded the brand that bears his name in 2012. In fact she is not rough at all. Indeed, her research on more than on form than materials, and her position as an emerging designer and undoubtedly original. Her collections are located in high-end jewelry, with a luxury not too ostentatious, linear, almost simple. Almost.
In fact her ideas seem easy, but are the result of a strong personality. To act as the main protagonist is the idea of the double. His pieces are often reversibles, foldables, transformables. Rings with two faces, bracelets and earrings that are duplicated are halved are part of the repertoire of this young but determined designers: to allow these movements, often the jewels hidden complexes invisible mechanisms. Gold, also rhodium, and whites or blacks diamonds, are the base materials he works on Kim Hye Mee. Prices: a ring of Swing Swing collection ring costs about 6000 euro. Giulia Netrese
